Just something to keep in mind with cream of wheat, cornmeal things designed to mix with liquid and make a solid, even a soft one.
Don’t load a bunch and plan on shooting them sometime down the road. All of that type of powder mix is designed to absorb moisture. Then drys pretty solid. The larger the difference between case and neck size, the easier damp meal turns hard enough to form a plug. Think about the stuff that gets hard on the bottom of a pan and has to be chiseled out.
Trying to force a 44 caliber cream of wheat rock that formed on top of the powder, out a 22 caliber barrel isn’t a happy place to be.
